379357 - no repainting when I restore using the minimizetotray extension

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Brandon Borkholder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

I'm using the minimizetotray 0.0.1.2006102615+ extension and whenever I receive new mail and I click the envelope icon in my system tray, thunderbird resumes the main window, but doesn't paint anything.  Not even the toolbars, just the windows titlebar.  However, if I click the thunderbird icon in the system tray, it resumes perfectly fine, whether or not the envelope icon is there.

I'd be glad to present any stack information, but it's not a crash, it just hangs.  This just started when I switched to the 2.0 branch.  Under 1.5 it worked just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install minimizetotray 0.0.1.2006102615+
2. minimize the main window to the system tray
3. receive new email
4. click on the envelope icon
Actual Results:  
The mail window comes up with only an outline and a titlebar, nothing is drawn inside.

Expected Results:  
The mail window should come up as before it was minimized.

This also has happened with me as well. The only way around it is to just re-click the envelope icon. Bug?

I'm not sure what to say anymore.  I'm using the same MinimizeToTray version, but I upgraded to Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 and I no longer have any issue.  So I think the bug has been fixed in some revision since 2.0.0.0 and I haven't paid enough attention to know which one.
